be_v apparent_a this_o answer_n do_v plain_o according_a to_o their_o principle_n lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o heresy_n since_o it_o give_v every_o man_n a_o right_a to_o question_v the_o

that_o council_n be_v lose_v so_o we_o can_v know_v upon_o what_o reason_n they_o make_v their_o decree_n and_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o because_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o any_o

this_o a_o write_v be_v read_v pen_v perhaps_o by_o the_o pope_n or_o a_o patriarch_n in_o which_o
of_o their_o church_n this_o latter_a i_o undertake_v to_o make_v out_o from_o the_o undeniable_a maxim_n to_o which_o all_o of_o that_o communion_n be_v bind_v to_o adhere_v there_o be_v two_o

among_o they_o but_o whatever_o strike_v at_o these_o must_v needs_o be_v abominate_v as_o destructive_a of_o that_o they_o call_v the_o catholic_n faith_n the_o one_o be_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n the_o other_o be_v the_o certainty_n of_o tradition_n if_o then_o the_o doctrine_n of_o depose_v king_n and_o by_o consequence_n kill_v they_o for_o if_o they_o be_v just_o depose_v it_o be_v as_o just_a to_o kill_v they_o as_o to_o kill_v any_o usurper_n be_v such_o that_o without_o deny_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o certainty_n of_o tradition_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v then_o all_o man_n must_v resolve_v either_o to_o acknowledge_v it_o or_o to_o renounce_v their_o subjection_n to_o a_o church_n that_o must_v needs_o believe_v it_o about_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n two_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o serve_v for_o clear_v what_o i_o design_n to_o make_v out_o the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o church_n in_o any_o one_o age_n have_v as_o much_o authority_n as_o ever_o it_o have_v or_o can_v have_v in_o any_o other_o age_n for_o if_o christ_n promise_n together_o with_o the_o other_o argument_n they_o bring_v for_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n be_v good_a they_o be_v alike_o strong_a at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o age_n and_o therefore_o though_o in_o write_v book_n of_o controversy_n they_o muster_v up_o authority_n out_o of_o the_o former_a age_n because_o we_o profess_v we_o pay_v little_a esteem_n to_o the_o latter_a age_n yet_o among_o themselves_o all_o age_n be_v alike_o and_o the_o decree_n of_o they_o be_v of_o equal_a authority_n second_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n be_v as_o little_a to_o be_v dispute_v in_o moral_a matter_n that_o fall_v under_o practice_n as_o in_o article_n of_o faith_n that_o only_o fall_v under_o speculation_n and_o in_o a_o word_n the_o church_n must_v be_v the_o infallible_a expounder_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o creed_n all_o the_o argument_n from_o christ_n promise_n from_o the_o hazard_n of_o trust_v to_o our_o private_a reason_n and_o the_o necessity_n of_o submit_v to_o a_o public_a judge_n be_v by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o conclude_v in_o practical_a matter_n as_o it_o be_v of_o more_o importance_n that_o man_n think_v aright_o in_o practical_a than_o in_o speculative_a opinion_n if_o then_o there_o arise_v a_o question_n about_o a_o moral_a matter_n or_o the_o exposition_n of_o any_o of_o the_o commandment_n the_o only_a certain_a decision_n must_v be_v expect_v from_o the_o church_n for_o instance_n a_o question_n arise_v about_o image_n whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o use_v they_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o seem_a opposition_n which_o the_o worship_n of_o they_o have_v to_o the_o 2d_o commandment_n since_o the_o church_n have_v once_o determine_v that_o it_o may_v be_v lawful_o use_v it_o be_v heresy_n to_o deny_v it_o on_o this_o pretence_n that_o we_o fancy_v it_o be_v contrary_a to_o one_o of_o the_o commandment_n so_o if_o a_o controversy_n arise_v upon_o the_o five_o commandment_n how_o far_o a_o king_n be_v to_o be_v acknowledge_v if_o the_o church_n have_v determine_v the_o limit_n of_o that_o it_o be_v heresy_n to_o carry_v it_o further_o if_o also_o another_o question_n arise_v how_o much_o the_o six_o commandment_n oblige_v it_o must_v be_v carry_v so_o far_o and_o no_o further_o than_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o church_n allow_v i_o confess_v by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o that_o church_n even_o a_o general_n council_n may_v err_v in_o a_o point_n in_o which_o any_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v include_v because_o they_o may_v be_v deceive_v by_o a_o false_a information_n but_o in_o a_o general_n rule_n about_o morality_n and_o the_o extent_n of_o any_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n the_o decision_n of_o the_o church_n must_v either_o be_v certain_a and_o for_o ever_o obligatory_a or_o the_o whole_a doctrine_n of_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n concern_v the_o certainty_n of_o tradition_n the_o general_a opinion_n of_o that_o party_n be_v that_o tradition_n be_v a_o infallible_a conveyance_n of_o divine_a truth_n and_o that_o whatever_o any_o age_n of_o the_o church_n deliver_v to_o another_o as_o derive_v from_o christ_n and_o his_o

their_o own_o assent_n to_o it_o this_o pass_v as_o a_o sufficient_a proof_n of_o the_o tradition_n of_o any_o age_n of_o the_o church_n so_o in_o all_o point_n of_o controversy_n between_o they_o and_o we_o the_o great_a part_n of_o their_o writer_n some_o few_o late_a and_o suspect_v one_o only_a except_v think_v they_o have_v sufficient_o justify_v their_o church_n when_o they_o bring_v testimony_n out_o of_o any_o of_o the_o write_n of_o the_o father_n that_o seem_v to_o favour_v their_o opinion_n and_o will_v call_v it_o unreasonable_a for_o we_o to_o reject_v these_o because_o they_o only_o deliver_v their_o own_o opinion_n and_o do_v not_o call_v it_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n but_o conclude_v that_o many_o writer_n in_o any_o age_n assert_v a_o opinion_n it_o may_v well_o be_v look_v on_o as_o the_o tradition_n of_o that_o age._n but_o because_o this_o be_v more_o liable_a to_o exception_n there_o be_v another_o way_n that_o be_v more_o infallible_a to_o

they_o have_v so_o many_o proof_n from_o the_o high_a thing_n some_o of_o the_o father_n have_v say_v about_o the_o dignity_n of_o that_o see_n now_o if_o these_o conclude_v any_o thing_n it_o must_v

be_v natural_o more_o concern_v in_o the_o preservation_n of_o temporal_a thing_n than_o about_o nice_a point_n of_o speculation_n the_o one_o they_o see_v and_o handle_v every_o day_n and_o be_v much_o concern_v about_o the_o other_o they_o hear_v little_a of_o and_o be_v not_o much_o touch_v with_o they_o so_o that_o it_o be_v less_o probable_a there_o can_v be_v a_o change_n make_v in_o opinion_n on_o which_o the_o title_n of_o prince_n and_o the_o peace_n of_o kingdom_n depend_v than_o about_o subtle_a discourse_n concern_v mystery_n so_o that_o the_o plea_n be_v strong_a for_o the_o tradition_n of_o depose_v king_n than_o for_o transubstantiation_n a_o second_o difference_n be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o continual_a opposition_n make_v to_o the_o belief_n of_o transubstantiation_n in_o all_o age_n which_o they_o themselves_o do_v not_o deny_v only_o they_o shift_v it_o off_o the_o best_a they_o can_v by_o call_v the_o opposer_n heretic_n but_o for_o the_o depose_n doctrine_n there_o be_v not_o one_o person_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o presume_v to_o bring_v it_o in_o question_n from_o the_o first_o time_n it_o be_v pretend_v to_o till_o those_o who_o they_o call_v heretic_n dispute_v against_o it_o and_o though_o some_o few_o other_o who_o hold_v communion_n with_o they_o have_v venture_v on_o a_o canvas_n of_o that_o doctrine_n it_o be_v well_o enough_o know_v what_o thanks_o they_o get_v from_o rome_n nor_o can_v they_o show_v any_o one_o book_n license_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o church_n that_o deny_v it_o and_o thus_o the_o plea_n for_o this_o doctrine_n have_v a_o double_a advantage_n beyond_o that_o for_o transubstantiation_n upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n then_o if_o tradition_n be_v a_o sure_a conveyance_n and_o if_o we_o may_v pronounce_v what_o be_v true_o a_o tradition_n either_o from_o the_o opinion_n of_o doctor_n the_o constitution_n of_o pope_n the_o decree_n of_o general_a council_n and_o the_o universal_a consent_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n for_o some_o age_n then_o the_o doctrine_n of_o depose_v king_n to_o which_o all_o these_o agree_v must_v be_v reckon_v among_o church-tradition_n there_o be_v but_o one_o other_o mark_n that_o can_v be_v devise_v of_o a_o tradition_n which_o be_v what_o the_o church_n have_v teach_v and_o believe_v in_o all_o age_n but_o for_o a_o certain_a reason_n which_o they_o know_v very_o well_o they_o will_v not_o stand_v to_o that_o they_o know_v we_o do_v not_o refuse_v such_o tradition_n and_o if_o only_a such_o may_v be_v receive_v than_o the_o worship_n of_o image_n the_o prayer_n to_o saint_n the_o worship_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n the_o belief_n of_o transubstantiation_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n the_o

know_v nothing_o of_o it_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_n abhor_v the_o thought_n of_o it_o as_o we_o have_v that_o their_o church_n these_o last_o six_o age_n have_v set_v it_o up_o from_o which_o among_o many_o other_o reason_n we_o conclude_v that_o these_o latter_a age_n have_v not_o be_v act_v with_o the_o same_o spirit_n nor_o follow_v the_o same_o doctrine_n that_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o
